3rd July - travelling from Cusco to Puno passing through a bunch of towns on the way, on the 4th July we are joining a small tour group to travel across Lake Titicaca, staying on the floating Uros Islands and Sun Island before reaching La Paz, Bolivia on the 8th June
8th July to 21st July - flights booked from La Paz to Santiago Chile, return flights to Easter Island, and over to Buenos Aires where we might head up to Uruguay if we have the energy. The flight home is the 20th night. Nothing really planned for this part of the journey so who knows :)
Keep in touch- we'd suggest here, email or texting which is the same as it is to down south - phonecalls are pretty expensive unless you're on skype). See you all in a few months - have a great summer!
